Individually or in combination, they make perfect little meals that are elemental and accessible, yet totally surprising--and there's something to learn on every page. Among the chapter titles there's "Bread Makes a Meal," which includes such alluring recipes as a ham and Gruyère bread pudding, spaghetti and bread crumbs, breaded eggplant cutlets, and David's version of egg-in-a-hole. A chapter called "My Kind of Snack" includes quail eggs with flavored salt; speckled sushi rice with toasted nori; polenta pizza with crumbled sage; raw beet tartare; and mackerel rillettes. The recipes in "Vegetables to Envy" range from a South Indian dish of cabbage with black mustard seeds to French grandmother-style vegetables. "Strike While the Iron Is Hot" is all about searing and quick cooking in a cast-iron skillet. Another chapter highlights dishes you can eat from a bowl with a spoon. And so it goes, with one irrepressible chapter after another, one perfect food moment after another: this is a book with recipes to crave.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Top 10 Cookbooks of the Year, <i>Washington Post</i></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Top 10 Cookbooks of the Year, <i> Entertainment Weekly</i></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Best Books of 2013, <i>NPR</i></strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Best of the Year in Cookbooks, Amazon</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Top 10 Cookbooks for Fall 2013, <i>Publishers Weekly</i></strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>"Trust David Tanis to keep it real. . . .
